PUSS IN BOOTS PANTOMIME SCRIPT

An award winning, modern traditional panto script with lots of parts!

 

Queen Wendy the Won’t is your Dame and King Wally the Once her unusually taciturn consort. A great role for the actor who wants to learn very few lines and still get maximum laughs!

 

Lots of things come in pairs – two cats, two fairies, two knockabout comics and two long suffering girlfriends.

 

Throw in an unusually feisty Principal Girl, the boy she loves, an overbearing Ogre she definitely does NOT love and lots of Killer Rabbits - and you have the purr-fect recipe for panto mayhem!

 

CAST SIZE: 14 Characters, plus 5 Cameo Roles, plus Chorus Etc.

 

RUN TIME: 2 hrs plus interval

EXCERPT - PUSS IN BOOTS PANTO SCRIPT

The Old Miller’s sons, Jasper and Jethro, are about to read their Father’s Will…

JASPER:

Right Jethro. Finally, we’re alone. Let’s read this will!

JETHRO:

JASPER:

JETHRO:

Hey, Jasper. I reckon that Betty fancies me!

You don’t want to worry about her. She’s just a girl from the village.

But I like her. I think she’s really dreamy!

JASPER:

She’s ok, yeah - but when we’re rich we’ll be able to have all the girls we want!

JETHRO:

What? You mean, like actually take them to the pictures and things?

JASPER:

Exactly! “And things!” That is exactly what I mean, Jethro. (Suggestively.) “And things…!” (Winks elaborately.)

JETHRO:

What sort of things?

JASPER:

Well – you know… (He is at a loss for words.) Nice things! And I tell you what, Jethro….

JETHRO:

What?

JASPER:

I do like girls.

JETHRO:

Me too! I like Betty... (Longingly) Oooooh!

JASPER:

JASPER:

JETHRO:

JASPER:

You’ll get plenty of “ooooh” when we’re rich. Now, let’s read this will. We’re completely alone.

Hey, Jasper –

What is it now?

We’re not alone. (Points to Audience.) Look!

 

(Houselights up.)

(looking) Oh, my goodness!

What?

Look at them! Half of them are girls!

Girls?? Real ones?

Real, live girls! (Starting to leave the stage.) Well, hello Ladies!

Where are you going?

(descending into the audience) I’m just going to say hello to some of these beautiful girls – ‘cos there are some very lovely people of the female persuasion in the house tonight!!

Hey, Jasper, come back!

(choosing an audience member) Ding dong! Hello, Gorgeous, what’s your name…? Daphne…? And can I ask you a personal question, Daphne…? How old are you Daphne…? Fifty-six? And I thought you were twenty-one!

“We’ve had a whale of a time with Puss in Boots, thank you so much! Our audiences thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We’ve had masses of compliments (the sort that come from people going out of their way to talk to us)… I was stopped twice today by people saying it was the best Panto they’d ever seen; professional or otherwise. Could barely get my swollen head through my front door after that.”

Nicola Jackman, Director, Puss in Boots. Kimpton Players
